Hi all,
I have a question in regards to tty's vs sockets. We have an application
where we have multiplexors connect to our unix box via RS-232 to terminal
ports. Like this:
(20-1) |-------------|
Mux 1 -------------| tty's |
Mux 2 -------------| A 5.2 |
Mux 3 -------------| box |
etc.. -------------| |
|-------------|
We have run into the old problem of only being able to recieve X (64?) of
bytes from the mux at a time on our tty port. What we really want to do
is to be able to send 1K blocks at once.
Now would going to a more modern approach using a sockets (no ptys)based
interface having our multiplexors connected to an ethernet allow larger
transfers of data to the unix box?
Please reply via e-mail.
